Aldrick is better suited in the Z position where he can avoid contact off the line of scrimmage. He showed he improved his route running in preseason but maybe not enough to play a primary role for the offense. Also the drop in Detriot I think set him back. He needs to prove he has sure hands especally with the opportunity he does get. Keim describted Aldrick nicely when he indicated that AR is more of a threat when the offense is moving well both runniing and passing. Once the defenses have it’s attention away from AR deep pass threat, big plays tend to follow for him.

I know Shanahan wanted to stretch the field and that makes sense with AR, but I was wondering/hoping he was learning the nuances of route running under Santana for the last few years.

Those guys seems to be very good route runners and are very quick in and out of their breaks. It seems AR is more of a straight line speed guy (track guy) than a shifty quick guy like Moss or Welker. I think Collins can be that guy like you mentioned.

Do you see him working his way into be a slot receiver aka Welker and Santana? What does he need to do or learn to become that threat? Or are we just waiting for Santana to retire and promote Nick to that position?
